Nov 29, 2018 at 18:00 comment added SevenSidedDie @Rogem Aahhh, I get it. (I think it missed me because “Alice, Bob, Carol, [etc.]” alphabetical placeholder names is a convention that predates infosec as a discipline, and I don’t hang out on the software SE’s, so I recognise Alice and Bob without associating them with infosec. TIL!)
Nov 29, 2018 at 17:30 comment added Cooper @Rogem Thanks for the lesson! Truthfully, I picked it up because I see people across Stackexchange using them as default names, and assumed it was just a default. Which it sort of is!
